Well, i can mostly confirm that the stiff rear ride issue can be solved by using the suspension inserts (rogerab). This os my 2nd week with them & i already had two longish runs with 5 persons in the car & no one has complained

also the steering self centering case is not a problem at all but is seen in almost all cars.it depends on the tyre pressure and other effecting dynamics of the car.Not an issue to get concerned about.

All new gen TATA cars have the nice smooth self Centering steering, right from NANO.
Even vehicles like ARIA and Storme have that behavior while coming with hydraulic stretch.

Steering is a different issue

Hi Ameyam. Its awesome if they are working for you. Will appreciate if you can please explain how do these work. Because AFAIK primarily they were meant for cars with soft suspension that used to scrape from beneath due to low Ground clearance accentuated by sagging.

Many persons complain about Baleno sagging at rear when loaded, in my knowledge it has to be a result of softer suspension, so stiffer ride seems to be a function of seat IMHO

Did my First Service for Baleno , The 5th gear was making a bit of noise and brought this to the notice of the MASS , they had send the audio clip to the maruti which has recommend to have the 5th Gear Synchronizer to be Changed :-(

Now i am bit concerned that it is just one month and they have to open the Gear Box , and hope this does not start other problem in the GEAR box further .

They Have received the Part now and need one Day to do the Replacement so would be giveing the Car tomorrow .

Done anyone have an Idea about the same .

Thanks

Very sad to hear that they are changing 5th gear Synchronizer but dot worry 5th gear is almost outside of the gearbox need not to fully dismantle gearbox. This is common problem in swift diesel too.

Thanks Suryaputhra , They showed me the Parts and how they plan to Replace , and it would be ready by today evening but Now Maruti has asked them to Hold on till there engineers arrive and have a look to have this Resolved , so the activity is postponed till tomorrow morning .

If the person coming from Maruti is Mr Mukund Menon, give him my regards.

Maruti wants to show that they care for their customers whereas I have been giving them feedback on issues for some time and no one has bothered to reply. If you have felt the steering and suspension issues, make sure you mention those to the visiting Maruti engineers. Let them realise that Baleno users are in contact with each other and that MS's performance in catering to issues is under public scrutiny

Sure Ameyam , i will check and update him The engineers about this , I am yet to talk to the Maruti Engineers but would defiantly convey the same to them , about the Trouble ...

I got a call from Nexa last Tuesday suggesting Alpha Petrol Baleno would be arrived in 8 more days. Wanted to take delivery only after Feb 8th (due to some reasons). Will they hold on the delivery till then ? or if it's allocated to some others, can the next car be delivered to me only ? I don't want myself to be placed last in the queue - Please suggest.

Hi everyone I am new to this forum but I have been following every website and forum closely for Baleno. I have booked Granite Grey Alpha Petrol in Gurgaon.
I got he receipt at the time of booking but RM didn't mention color and model but wrote it manually after I insisted.
Should I ask him to update at his end as well?

I did called the Nexa guys a moment back.. What they said was - If I cancel my booking for this allotted car now, it will take two months or so for the next allotment. Did anyone faced the similar situation ?
